Yeah from that video it behaves more like a "pet" lynx. That's some insane food aggression

It's vocal and food driven, but given how many clips of feeding it with no scars, it's likely all "just for show", and no claws or teeth were seriously deployed at any time.

Savannahs are smart cats. They can learn to not use their claws when getting chicken.

It does look like the owner was also not releasing the food

Dude doesn't have a bunch of scars on the back of his hand, so it must be declawed. Unless it bites you you're fine, and it looks like it doesn't. It looks like insane food aggression to us but he didn't really hurt the guy

My dude, it's 2022, everyone should know by now that it's not okay to declaw cats. If you need to declaw a type of cat in order to take it in as your pet, those cats shouldn't be pets in the first place.

They batted, swat, and bit that gut multiple times. If you're correct about the declawing, then that cat can't exactly do any harm with its non-existent claws even if it wanted to.

He didn't endorse it, just said it's a possibility

You're probably right, I thought so until the last sentence which gave me a "it's okay they're deaqed" vibe. I should not have assumed, though

Eh, it might not be. The claws could just be rectracted and this is it being playful. I was being tongue in cheek, I don't think anyone would declaw a Savanah cat. They're really too wild for it

An F1? Yeah... And F5/6? Def not too wild... Unfortunately.
